There are a few that would be within CG range, but very few that would allow that margin with non-lifting parts. Genesis 2 could probably be 'weighted' to work using the rear ballast weights and may still be in the non-lifting parts range. IIRC, Open Cirrus CG range is good to about 350lbs, but it would exceed the seat weight restraint limit of 242lbs, yet still be within the max dry weight and non-lifting parts range (551lbs) of 882lbs. BGA allows a LAK12 to put lead in the tail to allow 130kg in the cockpit, but the cockpit may be tight in other dimensions.
